One of the four focus areas of the ÐÓ°Épro sustainability strategy is minimizing deforestation risk, with emphasis on the most vulnerable regions in Brazil, including the Amazon and Cerrado biomes. ÐÓ°Épro is a buyer of grains and oilseeds, including corn and soybeans from farmers and third-party resellers in Brazil, and transports the commodities to customers around the world.

Our initiatives on minimizing deforestation risk
As part of growing a responsible and resilient global supply chain, ÐÓ°Épro seeks to minimize deforestation risk by sustainably sourcing commodities around the world. This means focusing on specific geographies in South America where deforestation is widely considered to be a greater risk, primarily the Amazon and Cerrado biomes of Brazil.
